Choose options on this page to specify initially which cables you want to assign to drums and how you want the software to deal with drum creation and deletion. You must specify one or all of the reference cables and at least one pulling area to be able to proceed to the next step.

Include assigned cables

Select this check box if you want to revamp your entire drum - cable assignments. When you select this option, the software dissociates any cables that are already assigned to drums, and then assigns all the cables. Clear the check box to assign only those cables that have not been assigned to drums yet.

  • The wizard does not include any cable drums that allow multiple pulling areas.

  • The wizard does not include cables assigned to drums that comply with the drum exclusion filter parameters.

Create new drums

Select this check box to create new drums automatically for each cable type if the drum - cable assignment results in all existing drums being used. The software creates new drums using the defined naming conventions. If you clear this option, the software assigns the cables to existing drums only and leaves the remaining cables unassigned until you create new drums manually.

Reference cable

Select the ellipsis button to select a reference cable used to specify the types of cables that you want to assign to drums automatically or select the Select all reference cables check box to specify all the cables of all types in the plant.

Delete empty drums

Select this check box so that if reassignment of cables results in empty drums, the software will delete those drums.

The software does not delete the empty drums that comply with the drum exclusion filter parameters.

Drum exclusion filter

Allows you to select a filter with drum parameters that you do not want to include in the assignment. That is, any drums that comply with the parameters set in the selected filter will be excluded from being assigned to plant cables.

Filter name

Browse

Allows you to browse and select an appropriate filter. You can define a new filter in Filter Manager.

Clear Filter

Allows you to clear the filter if you do not want to exclude any drums from the assignment.
